Why put up with an uncomfortable ear-bud style bluetooth headset? Get stereo sound and ultimate comfort from this A2DP Bluetooth® Headset from Monoprice!

This bluetooth headset features high-quality stereo sound for use as an A2DP audio headset. The softly padded earpieces are held in place with a "behind the neck" style band, which is very flexible, yet holds in place without pinching your head or ears. A microphone hole in the back of the right earpiece picks up your voice, allowing you to use this as a hands-free device, as well as a stereo headset, making it perfect for video gaming with PCs or consoles, such as the PlayStation 3 or for making phone calls.

The headset conforms to the Bluetooth 2.1 standard, which allows pairing without the use of passkeys or other codes. The power on/off button is on the bottom of the right earpiece, while the volume + and - buttons are on the top edge. The left earpiece features music player controls: a play/stop button on the bottom of the earpiece and forward/backward buttons on the top edge.

The headeset holds a generous charge, allowing 300 hours of standby time and up to 15 hours of "talk" time. The battery can be fully recharged in about 3 hours. The bluetooth range is rated at 10 meters (about 30 feet), but it can often maintain a quality connection to as much as twice that distance, through several walls. A 37" charging cable, with a proprietary connector on the headset and a USB A male connector on the other end, is included, allowing the battery to be charged from any USB power source.

Pros: Bought as a gift for my wife because she jogs and lays out by the pool. She can play all of hits on the pc and pick up the Bluetooth out by the pool with no static and the jogging is even better. Great and I recommend it.

Just plain uncomfortable and not good

Pros: Arrived quickly, as does everything from Monoprice

Cons: Uncomfortable, bad sound, clunky, and cheap-feeling

I ordered these for my wife, who dislikes ear buds that go inside her ears, hoping they would be a good fit and useful for her when walking, running, and gardening. However, they don't fit well, they feel cheap, and they don't sound good at all.

Unfortunately, by the time I went to request a return, only "replacement" was available. They've only been used for 5-10 minutes, so that's a real bummer. I'd even be willing to return them for store credit, if someone from Customer Service reads this.

I love Monoprice, and will still continue to use the site, but these were a real disappointment.

Bluetooth Headphones

Pros: Works as intended
Fairly comfortable
Music quality acceptable

Cons: I have almost identical phones for half the price

Based on the availability of cheap Bluetooth gadgets nowadays these should cost around 15-20 dollars, but they work quite well. Don't expect DJ quality though.

Headset is fairly comfortable and has good sound quality. I have to pull the headphones away from my ears to click the power or play/pause buttons because they click so loudly. Only reason I got these was because I got a mega deal on them.
